Bound To Triplets

“Dad, leave my Dad alone" pleaded Sonia to the men in front of her holding unto a man bleeding from his head.

“Please” her voice was heard again when a boy held a gun to her father’s head.

Her eyes swollen in tears wishing everything would disappear and her father would be safe and sound. Sonia couldn't bare the thought of losing her father, it would be the end of her peaceful life, she was never going to see him again.

Laying not faraway from Sonia was a woman unconscious, a barrel gun laid beside her making it obvious that she had been hit in the head with it. being hit on the head with a barrel gun. She slowly her eyes to see a gun to her husband's head, she couldn't do anything because of how weak she was.

"Shoot him" a voice came from a man wearing a leather coat and black trousers with a face just like the devil.

“Shoot him son” he compelled the boy holding the gun.

"Bang" a body was already on the floor, Sonia had just witnessed the death of her father.

It broke her, the tears in her eyes dried up in an instant flowing unceasingly as she could no longer cry anymore. Her throat became dry and she could barely utter a word.

The young boy stood there with trembling hands but he couldn't show that to his father, he subdued every fear in his body and held his head up.

As a little boy, he had already faced much worse and he could no longer feel pain, not even for the young girl who had stopped crying after he pulled the trigger. His instinct told him to look at her but he just couldn't bring himself to do it because he knew he would see hatred.

Almano stood up like a proud father and walked out with his son and cartel.

Sonia stared at the dead body of her father for a while, witnessing his death before her very eyes, only one word rang in Anabel's head "Revenge".

Her legs moved faster as she ran to catch a glimpse of those killers once again but only the plate number of their car was seen as they drove off in the thickness of the night.

Keeping it at the back of her mind, Sonia returned back to the house, only then did she realise that Lisa wasn't up yet.

For a kid who was 14, she already knew how to handle emergency situations, she picked up her phone and dailed 911.

After being rushed to the hospital, an anxious 14 year old Sonia covered her face in her hoodie waiting for her mother. Little did she know that the doctors were deliberating on how they would tell her who had just lost her father that her mother would never be sane again.

Dr Friday, the chief doctor walked up to the little girl who was seating patiently at the waiting area with her hands on her head.

"Hello Child" he said,

Sonia lifted up her head to look at a man in his mid sixties.

"Hello Doctor, how is my mom?" She asked as she studied the worried expression on Dr Friday’s face.

Most kids were gullible but Sonia wasn't, she knew something was wrong when the doctors were avoiding to give her any useful information concerning her mother, each nurse passed her like she was a plague without answering her questions making her sit back until they attended to her.

"Well you see, your mom suffered a concussion and there is a major damage in her brain, she will never be able to think properly again, or act sane unless a miracle happens. I am so sorry" Dr Friday felt extremely terrible for the young girl in front of him.

Sonia looked so disappointed, she had full faith that her mother would be fine because doctors were meant to save lives.

“Can I see her now?” she requested.

“Sure” he replied.

Just as she was about to see Lisa, she noticed some people in uniform walking towards her so she halted in her steps.

"Hello kid, my name is Maria , I am from the child protection services.

The doctors told me about your condition so we are here to help you. would you like to come with us, we have other kids who are just about your age" Maria said.

The look on Sonia’s face frightened Maria, she stared at her like she was the last person she wanted to see in her life, making her feel guilty like she had offended her.

"Do you want to take me away from my mother while she is still alive?" Sonia's question not only made Maria dumbfolded but also the doctors.

“No dear, we will also take care of your mother” she added.

"I'm sorry but I cannot follow you. I have someone to take care of, and we have a relative that we stay with" Sonia added. She could bet that the woman did not believe her but she wasn't willing to take her chances so she rushed into her mother’s ward.

Maria discussed a bit with Dr Friday and decided to come back on the day Lisa would be discharged to take both of them, Sonia happened to hear their conversation.

She rushed back to her mother’s room who was still asleep due to the anesthesia.

Holding her hand, Sonia took a seat beside her, she watched her mother while tears rolled out of her eyes. All she could see was memories of her father, the boiling in heart just wouldn't let her scream in agony so she held it in silently.

***

The Vin's mansion was dark and gloomy as a young boy took off his gloves, washed his hands and headed to the sitting room.

"Alberto, my son, I was so proud of you today, you have proven to me that you can take care of this cartel when I am gone" Almano said cockingly as he looked at his son with so much admiration.

He had failed in protecting his wife and promised to make sure his son doesn't make the same mistake.

Being a Mafia boss meant he had a lot of enemies who sought to kill him or harm whatever he held dearly. His wife fell a victim to his enemies and he still regrets it to this point so he tried his best to make sure his son doesn't.

At age 10 he had taught Alberto how to fight and defend himself.

At 12, he taught him how to pull the trigger and how to think like a Tyrant.

At 15 he had handed over his company to him.

And today, he taught his son how to take one's life with no mercy.

There was no turning back for Almano, living a peaceful life had never wanted him, he was also seen in the wrong places at the wrong time, life had pushed him to being rough and hard.

Almano raised his son to be a tyrant, to be fearless, he knew that he had a lot of enemies and they would want to exploit him using his son, so he turned his son into the devil instead.
